My last post, I mentioned that I was working on thread covers for my mega thread racks.  Well, this weekend I managed to finish the covers.  I think they turned out nice and will serve the purpose.

I cut out a 29×20 rectangle from muslin and cut out 2 inch squares on each corner. I adjusted the fit.  One of mega racks is shorter than the other. (hmmm, never notice) I cut out the fashion fabric using the muslin as the pattern, stitched the mitered corners using a 1/4 inch seam allowance and serge the sides.  Viola, thread covers.

I’m a little tickled with myself. I consider this a craft project and I’m just not a craftsy person.  So to come up with this idea and implement it, is so very interesting to me.

Well, I have one more thread cover to complete for my cone rack.  But it will have to wait.  I’m working on my Easter outfit and still a have few decisions to make on my garment.  I’m making a jacket and a sheath dress.

Until next time……keep sewing
